Annie Lennox 
A Whiter Shade of Pale
Μουσική - Στίχοι: Gary Brooker-Keith Reid-Matthew Fisher  
--------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Ann Lennox, OBE (n. Aberdeen, Escocia; 25 de diciembre de 1954), más conocida como Annie Lennox, es una cantautora y activista británica de renombre internacional. Inició su carrera a finales de la década de 1970 en The Tourists, junto con su colega David A. Stewart y otros miembros. Años más tarde se alió con Stewart para formar Eurythmics, uno de los dúos musicales más reconocidos durante los década de 1980. Lennox inició su carrera en solitario en 1992 con su álbum debut Diva, del cual salieron los sencillos de éxito: «Why», «Little Bird» y «Walking On Broken Glass», entre otros. Ha lanzado cinco álbumes de estudio y un único álbum recopilatorio: The Annie Lennox Collection, en 2009. Ha recibido ocho premios BRIT, siendo la artista femenina con más galardones. En 2004 ganó el Globo de Oro y el Óscar en la categoría de mejor canción original por «Into the West», escrita especialmente para la banda sonora de la película El Señor de los Anillos: el retorno del Rey. Adicionalmente a su carrera como cantante, Lennox es una activista política y social. Ha emprendido campañas arraigadas en obras de caridad para el África y de conciencia del VIH. También estuvo en contra del uso de la canción «I Saved the World Today» -grabada por Eurythmics en 1999- en la campaña electoral de la ministra de asuntos exteriores israelí, Tzipi Livni, en 2009. Conocida por ser un icono pop, por su profundo registro vocal de contralto y por sus extravagantes presentaciones en vivo, Lennox fue considerada como «La mejor cantante viva de soul blanco» por VH1 y fue incluida en la lista de «Los 100 vocalistas más grandes de todos los tiempos» por la revista Rolling Stone. También ha sido considerada como «la cantante británica de mayor éxito» en la historia musical de aquel país por su éxito comercial a nivel mundial desde principios de 1980. Tras vender más de ochenta millones de discos en todo el mundo -incluido su trabajo con Eurythmics- fue considerada como una de las artistas más exitosas de todos los tiempos.

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well 've been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, I'm home on shore leave,
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, you must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride.
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean

And attacked the ocean bed

Han spento già la luce
son rimasto solo io
e mi sento il mal di mare

il bicchiere però è mio
cameriere lascia stare
camminare io so
l'aria fredda sai mi sveglierà
oppure dormirò

Guardo lassù
la notte
quanto spazio intorno a me
sono solo nella strada
o no no qualcuno c'è (insieme a te)

Non dire una parola
ti darò quello che vuoi
tu non le somigli molto
non sei come lei
però prendi la mia mano
e cammina insieme a me il
tuo viso adesso è bello
tu sei bella come lei

Guardo lassù ...

Released: 1969

Tracklist
A When You Are Available
B A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Written by -- Gary Brooker, Keith Reed)
------------------------
"A Whiter Shade of Pale" is the debut song by the British band Procol Harum, released 12 May 1967.
The single reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 8 June 1967, and stayed there for six weeks.
Without much promotion, it reached #5 on the US charts, as well.
It is one of the fewer than 30 all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) copies worldwide.

With its haunting Bach-flavoured instrumental melody, soulful vocals, and unusual lyrics—by the song's co-authors Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, and Matthew Fisher-- "A Whiter Shade of Pale" reached #1 in several countries when released in 1967.
In the years since, it has become an enduring classic.
It was the most played song in the last 75 years in public places in the UK (as of 2009), and the United Kingdom performing rights group Phonographic Performance Limited in 2004 recognised it as the most-played record by British broadcasting of the past 70 years.

Also in 2004, Rolling Stone placed "A Whiter Shade of Pale" #57 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

More than 1000 recorded cover versions by other artists are known.
The song has been included in many music compilations and has also been used in the soundtracks of numerous films, including:
The Big Chill,
Purple Haze,
Breaking the Waves,
The Boat That Rocked
and notably in Martin Scorsese's segment of New York Stories.
Cover versions of the song have also been featured in many films, for example by King Curtis in Withnail and I and by Annie Lennox in The Net.

The original writing credits were for Brooker and Reid only.
On 30 July 2009, Matthew Fisher won co-writing credit for the music in a unanimous ruling from the Law Lords.

Recording and personnel

The song was performed and recorded at Olympic Studios in London, England with Gary Brooker providing the vocals and piano, Matthew Fisher on a Hammond M-102 organ, David Knights on bass and Ray Royer on guitar. Drums were by session drummer Bill Eyden.
A few days later, the song was re-recorded with the band's then newly-recruited drummer Bobby Harrison.
That version, though, was considered inferior and one of the original mono recordings was chosen for release.
Producer for the record was Denny Cordell and Keith Grant was the sound engineer.
The song was included on the original U.S. release of the Procol Harum album, but not on the UK version.

Composition

The Hammond organ line of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's "Sleepers, Wake!" and "Air on the G String" but contrary to popular belief, the song is not a direct copy or paraphrase of any music by Bach, although it makes clear references to both pieces. This similarity is referred to in the 1982 play The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard and the 1991 film The Commitments. A yet closer melodic influence that is seldom cited can arguably[weasel words] be found in the organ choral prelude "O Mensch bewein dein' Sünde groß" (O Man, Lament Your Sin So Great), BWV 622, from Bach's Orgelbüchlein (Little Organ Book). The music also borrows ideas from "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge.

Lyrics

Reid got the title and the starting point for the song at a party. He overheard someone at the party saying to a woman, "You've turned a whiter shade of pale," and the phrase stuck in his mind.
The original lyrics had four verses, of which only two are heard on the original recording. The third verse has been heard in live performances by Procol Harum, and more seldom also the fourth.
The author of Procol Harum: beyond the pale, Claes Johansen, suggests that the song "deals in metaphorical form with a male/female relationship which after some negotiation ends in a sexual act."
This is supported by Tim de Lisle in Lives of the Great Songs, who remarks that the lyrics concern a drunken seduction, which is described through references to sex as a form of travel, usually nautical, using mythical and literary journeys.
Other observers have also commented that the lyrics concern a sexual relationship.

The phrase a whiter shade of pale has since gained widespread use in the English language, noticed by several dictionaries.
As such, the phrase is today often used in contexts independent of any consideration of the song.
It has also been heavily paraphrased, in forms like an Xer shade of Y--this to the extent that it has been recognised as a snowclone -- a type of cliché and phrasal template.

Reception

John Lennon was a great fan of the song and was known to have played it repeatedly in his Rolls Royce.
When it was released in England, Lennon (and friends in his circle) reportedly confused Brooker's soulful vocals with Steve Winwood, who had popularity at the time with The Spencer Davis Group.
--------------------------------------------
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Un homme seul écoutait
En pleurant, l'orgue qui jouait,
Il revoyait tout son passé
Là où il s'était marié,
Dans cette église où il pleure,
Il vient pour vider son cœur

Non, il ne faut jamais jurer
Mais il ne faut pas juger
Mais aujourd'hui, c'est trop tard
Non, rien n'est plus comme avant
Où sont-elles les orgues d'antan ?
Comme elles jouent tristement !

Un homme seul, à genoux,
Ecoute un orgue qui joue,
Il ne lui reste plus rien
Qu'un immense chagrin,
Il a envie de crier
Sa douleur au monde entier

Non, il ne faut jamais jurer
Mais il ne faut pas juger
Mais aujourd'hui, c'est trop tard
Non, rien n'est plus comme avant
Où sont-elles les orgues d'antan ?
Comme elles jouent tristement !

That my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
